32 worst lyrics of all time

The local Bostonia alternative weekly did a poll of its readers to determine the worst song lyrics of all time, and the full list can be found here:

http://www.thephoenix.com...14634.aspx

However, these were picked among the worst:

THE SONG: Black Eyed Peas, "My Humps"
THE LYRIC: “My hump, my hump, my hump, my hump, my hump,
My hump, my hump, my hump, my lovely lady lumps.

THE VERDICT: This has got to be the least appealing description for the female anatomy every conceived.

THE SONG: Chubb Rock, “ Mr. Large”
THE LYRIC: “Like Mario Puzo, I'm The Don. W-W-I'M-THE-SHIT-DOT-COM
THE VERDICT: We keep trying to get to this website. Keep getting error messages. Oh, wait. Yeah, he only says two Ws. The last W was obviously being reserved for “what the fuck?”

THE SONG: Limp Bizkit, "Break Stuff"
THE LYRIC: "It's just one of those days/When you don't wanna wake up/Everything is fucked / Everybody sucks/You don't really know why/But you wanna justify/Rippin' someone's head off"
THE VERDICT: Music is supposed to move people. This song just happened to move people to assault women and set fires at Woodstock ’99.

I question the integrity of the article and its writer(s) with this:

THE SONG: Donna Summers, et al "MacArthur Park"
THE LYRIC: "Someone left the cake out in the rain/I don't think I could take it, `cause it took so long to bake it/And I'll never have that recipe again, oh no!"
THE VERDICT: Oft-cited on these lists, this song is classically inscrutable. But sometimes "inscrutable" is just a polite way of saying "not very good."


Get the artist's name right, for cryin' out loud! lol

One they forgot: Baby lose my breaf...lose my breaf, BABY BOY! lose my breaf...lose my breaf...lose my breaf...BABY BOY! I actually counted how many times they said that when I first heard the song. Don't remember the number, but it was too high.

I would nominate Bowling for Soup's "1985", in which they mention Blondie, who fucking broke up in 1982, damn it! mad

THE SONG: R. Kelly, "Ignition (remix)"
THE LYRIC: "It's the remix to ignition/Hot and fresh out the kitchen/Mama rollin that body got every man in here wishin’/Sippin on coke and rum/I'm like so what I'm drunk/it's the freakin' weekend/Baby I'm about to have me some fun"
THE VERDICT: R. Kelly's lyrics, of course, are bad in the best way possible, like bad in a way that makes you scream at your friends in the car to bring their attention to them, which apparently really happened to our friend, the Waitress, who suggested we add this to our list: "I had been telling my friend Erin about its ridiculous lyrics for weeks. Then one fateful night I was driving her home and flipping through the stations when there it was. I almost deafened her when I screamed, ‘THIS IS IT!!!!!’ We laughed so hard listening to it."

nod nod nod So many great lines by the R. "I'm butt naked, socks, and house shoes," the entire "Feelin' on Your Booty" remix, etc.

I'm so glad they reminded me about that LFO song! lol No one can convince me that wasn't some kind of sick joke.

"Maybe we'll meet in a bar/he'll drive a funky car"



anywhere to be found.

Eternal - Don't you love me
Child goes to the store for a loaf of bread
(Don't you love me, don't you love me no more)
Bullets flying all around his head
(Don't you love me, don't you love me no more)
Said he's hurting, gone and lost his job
(Don't you love me, don't you love me no more)
To feed his family got to steal and rob
(Don't you love me, don't you love me no more)

All he wants to know is do you love me
(Do you love me, don't you love me no more)
All he needs to know is do you love me
(Do you love me, don't you love me no more)

Why does granny have to walk the streets?
(Don't you love me, don't you love me no more)
Trying to find a sheltered place to sleep
(Don't you love me, don't you love me no more)

What is this song about? People stealin shit just cuz this man doesn't love this woman anymore? I just don't get it...

Some latin terrible lyrics:

Gloria Estefan "Conga"--
"Come On Shake Your Body Baby Do The Conga
I Know You Can't Control Yourself Any Longer
Feel The Rhythm Of The Music Getting Stronger
Don't You Fight It 'til You Tried It Do That Conga Beat"
"Todo está bien chévere" Stevie

"Why Can't This Be Love" by Van Halen

Whoa, here it comes
That funny feelin' again windin'
Me up inside
Every time we touch
Hey, I don't know
Oh, tell me where to begin
'Cause I never ever
Felt so much. Hey!
An' I can't recall any love at all
Oh baby, this blows 'em all away

It's got what it takes
So tell me why can't this be love?
Straight from my heart oh tell
Me why
Can't this be love?

I tell myself,
"Hey! Only fools rush in" an' only
Time will tell
If we stand the test of time
All I know
You've got to run to win an' I'll
Be damned if
I'll get hung up on the line. Hey!

No, I can't recall any thing at all
Oh baby, this blows 'em all away

Woo! It's got what it takes
So tell me why can't this be love?
You want it straight from the heart oh, tell
Me why
Can't this be love?

(Guitar Solo)

Woo! It's got what it takes
So tell me why can't this be love?
Straight from the heart, oh tell
Me why
Can't this be love?

Baby, why can't this be love?
Got to know why can't this
Be love?
I wanna know why can't this
Be love?


Awful. "And only time will tell/If we stand the test of time"?? That's like saying, "Only hamburgers taste like hamburgers." I simply detest this lyric.


"I'm In Love With A Stripper" by T PAIN

Goddamn Lil Mama
U know u thick as hell u know what im sayin

Me and my niggas gone be together u know what im sayin
I aint gon worry bout them really though

Got eyes of a pecan brown, i see you girl

She Comin Down from the ceiling
To tha floo
Yea She Know what she doin
Yea yea yea
She doin that right thang
Yea yea yea yea yea
I Need to get her over to my crib and do that night thang
Cause I'm in love with a stripper

[Chorus x2]
She poppin she rollin' she rollin'
She climbin' that pole and
I'm in love with a stripper
She trippin she playin she playin
I'm not goin nowhere girl I'm stayin
I'm in love with a stripper

[Chorus x2]

Out of all the girls she be the hottest
Liking the way she break it down I see you girl
Spinnin' wide
And she lookin' at me
Right in my eyes
Yea she got my attention

I need to get her over to my crib and do that night thang
'Cause I'm in love with a stripper

[Chorus x2]

To my head
Yea she turnin' tricks on me
Yea Yea Yea
She don't even know me
Yea yea yea ea
I'd have got her over to my crib to do that night thing
Cause I'm in love with a stripper

"To do that night thing." Good grief.

"Separate Lives" by Phil Collins & Marilyn Martin

You called me from the room in your hotel
All full of romance for someone that you met
And telling me how sorry you were, leaving so soon
And that you miss me sometimes when you're alone in your room
Do I feel lonely too?

You have no right to ask me how I feel
You have no right to speak to me so kind
We can't go on just holding on to time
Now that we're living separate lives

Well I held on to let you go
And if you lost your love for me, well you never let it show
There was no way to compromise
So now we're living (living)
Separate lives

Ooh, it's so typical, love leads to isolation
So you build that wall (build that wall)
Yes, you build that wall (build that wall)
And you make it stronger

Well you have no right to ask me how I feel
You have no right to speak to me so kind
Some day I might (I might) find myself looking in your eyes
But for now, we'll go on living separate lives
Yes for now, we'll go on living separate lives
Separate lives

That first verse is just dreadful.

"I Can't Dance" by Genesis

Hot sun beating down
burning my feet just walking around.

Hot sun making me sweat
'Gators getting close, hasn't got me yet

I can't dance, I can't talk.
Only thing about me is the way I walk.
I can't dance, I can't sing
I'm just standing here selling everything.

Billy Jean's sitting on the beach,
her dog's talking to me, but she's out of reach.

She's got a body under that shirt,
but all she wants to do is rub my face in the dirt.

Cos, I can't dance, I can't talk.
Only thing about me is the way I walk.
I can't dance, I can't sing
I'm just standing here selling.

Oh and checking everything is in place,
you never know who's looking on.

Young punk spilling beer on my shoes,
fat guy's talking to me trying to steal my blues.

Thick smoke, see her smiling through.
I never thought so much could happen just shooting pool.

But I can't dance, I can't talk.
The only thing about me is the way that I walk.
I can't dance, I can't sing
I'm just standing here selling

Oh and checking everything is in place
You never know who's looking on
A perfect body with a perfect face - uh-huh.

No, I can't dance, I can't talk.
The only thing about me is the way I walk.
No, I can't dance, I can't sing
I'm just standing here selling everything.

But I can walk.
No I can't dance.
No no no I can't dance
No I said I can't sing.
But I can walk.

What's he sellin', exactly?

"Girl, I'm Gonna Miss You" by Milli Vanilli

I knew it from the start
You would break my heart
But still I had to play this painful part
You wrapped me 'round your little-bitty finger
With your magic smile
You kept me hangin' on a lovers cross a while
You put your spell on me
Took my breath away
But there was nothin' I could do to make you stay
I'm gonna miss you

All the love I feel for you
Nothing could make me change my point of view
Oh girl
I'm gonna miss you baby

(CHORUS:)
Giving all the love I feel for you
Couldn't make you change your point of view
You're leavin'
Now I'm sittin' here, Wastin' my time
I just don't know what I should do

It's a tragedy for me
To see the dream is over
And I never will forget the day we met
Girl I'm gonna miss you

Like a honey bee
You took the best of me
Now I can't erase those memories
Like a fairy tale
You were so unreal
You left a scar that's so hard to heal
When you had a taste of paradise
Back on earth can feel
As cold as ice
I'm gonna miss you
I'm gonna miss you
I miss you

(CHORUS:)
Giving all the love I feel for you
Couldn't make you change your point of view
You're leavin'
Now I'm sittin' here, wastin' my time
I just don't know what I should do

It's a tragedy for me
To see the dream is over
And I never will forget the day we met
Girl I'm gonna miss you

It's a tragedy for me
To see the dream is over
And I never will forget the day we met
Girl I'm gonna miss you

"When you had a taste of paradise/Back on earth can feel/As cold as ice." Hell no.
"She made me glad to be a man"

C'mon, you remind me is pure fucking poetry! lol lol lol lol

You remind me of my jeep, I wanna ride it
Something like my sound, I wanna pump it
Girl you look just like my cars, I wanna wax it
And something like my bank account
I wanna spend it, baby
